Notorious Notts burglar caught after he was exposed by Facebook post
A notorious criminal who burgled a home in a Nottinghamshire town was caught after being exposed by a Facebook post. Alan Brown was captured on a home security camera as he broke into a property in Three Tunns Road, Eastwood, on April 14 last year. The victim rushed to the address after receiving an intruder alert to his mobile phone. Brown, 50, had already fled the scene but was later recognised by his victim from a previous post on a local Facebook group. When he was arrested two days later, he was still wearing the same tracksuit jacket he'd had on during the burglary. Brown, of Lawrence Road, Eastwood, later pleaded guilty to burglary.

Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday, March 31, Brown was jailed for 15 months. Detective Constable Liam O'Kane of Nottinghamshire Police said: 'Brown is a well-known offender with a high number of previous convictions. In this case his notoriety came back to bite him when his victim immediately recognised who he was. 'Although it is likely we would have caught up with Brown from other evidence, the victim's security cameras really made the difference in this case and allowed us to quickly arrest a suspect and secure vital evidence against him. I am pleased he has now been returned to jail where he can no longer pose a threat to local residents.'
